The holy spirit is not a person. It is god and Jesus combines. The holy spirit came upon the apostles as tongues of fire.

What will happen without pentecost?
Without Pentecost the holy spirit would not have come on the disciples head and they will not be talking in different tongues or language.
Why was there wind and fire at Pentecost?
A:The story of Pentecost in Acts chapter 2 closely parallels the Jewish Pentecost account of the giving of the Law on Mount Sinai, fifty days after Passover. Numbers 11:25 tells us that on that occasion, the spirit of God came down on the seventy elders and they began to prophesy in ecstasy. Wind has always been associated with the Holy Spirit, if only because the same Hebrew word can mean either wind or spirit. The translation here is 'spirit' because the spirit of God came down, but elsewhere the text could also be interpreted as 'wind'. The Christian Pentecost story so closely parallels the Jewish Pentecost that it was arguably inspired by the earlier account. Acts of the Apostles was written in Greek, so the author could speak of the Holy Spirit and of a rushing mighty wind without ambiguity. When writing the story of Pentecost, he wanted to demonstrate awesome power and leave no doubt that something special really occurred, so used the physical symbols of a rushing mighty wind and fire. Of course, if the Holy Spirit really came upon the apostles, he had no need of these symbols - after all, the modern Church teaches that the Holy Spirit can come down on Christians without wind or fire.
What would have happened to the Church if the Holy Spirit had not come to the apostles on the Day of the Pentecost?
A:The Holy Spirit is reported in Acts 2:1-4 as coming to the apostles some forty days after the Resurrection of Jesus, on the Day of Pentecost, as tongues of flame. A little-known account in John's Gospel (John 20:22) also has the disciples receiving the Holy Spirit when Jesus breathed on them, on the same day as the Resurrection. Had the author of Acts not reported the disciples receiving the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost, no doubt the parallel account in John's Gospel would have received greater prominence, with the Church proceeding much as it did.
